ROCKY, ROCKY-SD specifications

The Rancilio ROCKY-SD coffee grinder is a standout in the world of espresso grinders, revered for its precision and durability. Known for its capability to produce high-quality grounds, it is suitable for both home enthusiasts and commercial applications. One of the main features of the ROCKY-SD is its powerful 166-watt motor. This motor operates at a low RPM, which minimizes heat transfer to the coffee beans, ensuring that the flavor remains intact and untainted during grinding.

The ROCKY-SD is equipped with flat burrs measuring 50mm in diameter, made from hardened steel. These burrs provide a consistent grind size, which is essential for brewing exquisite espresso.

Its commercial-grade build makes it an ideal choice for cafes and restaurants, as well as for serious coffee aficionados at home.
